Police in northern Israel, in a joint operation with customs officials at Ben Gurion Airport, seized 40 drones of various types from a home in the town of Dabuira. The operation stemmed from a secret investigation over recent weeks by customs and the Northern District Police into a 30-year-old Dabuira resident suspected of illegally selling smuggled drones into the country. Police stated that the investigation was prompted by information indicating criminal use of drones sold by the suspect, as well as intelligence about drones being modified and equipped in a laboratory within the suspect's home. During the public phase of the investigation on Tuesday, authorities raided the suspect's residence, discovering the drones. Some of the seized drones were found to be equipped with dual-use technology capable of carrying and dropping explosives from the air. The suspect has been taken in for questioning.
